I know the cars are autonomous and all but the cars driving in both lanes gives me anxiety for some reason.

So which of the three lanes shouldn’t they be in? Or do you mean the dotted line down the center of each lane? I wonder if that was their idea of a centering marker?

I don’t care which lane they’re in so long as they are actually in one. I don’t know what’s the purpose of dotted lines when they are clearly not being adhered to.

It’s called a “Linear Tracking System”

And with that, I’ve officially watched all of the Original Series movies. I’m not sure if I should go straight to the Next Generation films or wait until I’ve watched some more of the show. What do you guys think?

I would say it’s best to hold off on “Generations” until after viewing the 4th season of TNG. There are some major emotional elements important to a main character’s motivations that is established in an early fourth season episode.

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)

Pretty good follow up to The Wrath of Khan, even though it pales in comparison to that film. William Shatner’s acting abilities seem to have disappeared between movies, and the death of his son had little emotional impact, plus a number of minor flaws (plot holes, strange coincidences). Leonard Nimoy’s direction was very good, and the Genesis planet made for an interesting and aesthetically pleasing setting. The plot, while nothing extraordinary, was good, and the characters all felt like themselves. Overall, while nothing amazing, it was an immensely entertaining threequel.

7/10

The recasting of Lt. Saavik was a major disappointment. The lighting and cinematography were way off. Star Trek II had such a wonderful warm look and feel to it. In Star Trek III, you can really see the falseness of the sets and props. The blue color tones that seem to dominate the film are cold and bleak. The editing was also off. There was a fan edit done a few years back that re-arranged some scenes and that helped the flow of the film a great deal. The tie-in novelization included much of what I wished would have been included in the movie version.
